(GOLD CERTIFICATES) With the increase of gold in America partially brought on by the rush of the mid 1800's, this metal became a prevalent asset for exchange.

(GOLD CERTIFICATES) Written confirmation of ownership of gold without necessarily having to take physical delivery of the metal.

A gold certificate in general is a certificate of ownership that gold owners hold instead of storing the actual gold. It has both a historic meaning as a US paper currency (1882–1933) and a current meaning as a way to invest in gold.

Garfield and fellow Ohio President Rutherford B. Hayes both served on the first board of trustees of Western Reserve University (now Case Western Reserve University) following the school's move from Hudson, Ohio to Cleveland.[citation needed] Garfield was a minister and an elder for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), making him the first—and to date, only—member of the clergy to serve as President. [5] He is also claimed as a member of the Church of Christ, as the different branches did not split until the 20th century. Garfield preached his first sermon in Poestenkill, New York.[6] When Garfield relinquished his Eldership, it is said that he stated, "I resign the highest office in the land to become President of the United States."[citation needed] Garfield Monument at Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland, Ohio.Garfield was a member of the Delta Upsilon International Fraternity.[7] Garfield is the only person in US history to be a Representative, Senator-elect, and President-elect at the same time. To date, he is the only Representative to be directly elected President of the United States. In 1876, Garfield discovered a novel proof of the Pythagorean Theorem using a trapezoid while serving as a member of the House of Representatives.[8] Garfield was the first ambidextrous president. It was said that one could ask him a question in English and he could simultaneously write the answer in Latin with one hand, and Ancient Greek with the other.[9] In the famous drawing of Guiteau shooting Garfield, it is believed that the color of their suits at the time was reversed.[citation needed] The assassination is also mentioned in the Johnny Cash tune, "Mister Garfield (Has Been Shot Down)" according to the album sleeve written by J. Elliot, released in 1965 by Columbia Records, and re-recorded for the 1972 album "America - A 200 Year Salute in Story And Song", as well in the song "Charles Guiteau" by Kelly Harrell & the Virginia String Band as included in the Anthology of American Folk Music. In the 1992 film Unforgiven, set in 1881, the character English Bob mocks his (American) fellow travelers for the murder of President Garfield, comparing the republican system of government unfavorably with the monarchical. "If you were to try to assassinate a king, sir, the, how shall I say it, the majesty of royalty would cause you to miss. But, a President, I mean, why not shoot a President?" Garfield was assassinated only months after Czar Alexander II of Russia was assassinated. Robert Lincoln, son of Abraham Lincoln, was a witness to Garfield's assassination.[10] Stephen Sondheim's musical Assassins includes the story of Charles J. Guiteau and his assassination of Garfield and features a song, "The Ballad of Guiteau." Garfield Monument in Washington, D.C.Part of Charles Guiteau's preserved brain is on display at the Mutter Museum at the College of Physicians of Philadelphia.[11] Guiteau's bones and more of his brain, along with Garfield's backbone and a couple ribs, are kept at the National Museum of Health and Medicine in Washington, D.C. on the grounds of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center.[12] Garfield was a direct descendant of Mayflower passenger John Billington through his son Francis, another Mayflower passenger.[13] John Billington was convicted of murder at Plymouth Mass. 1630.[14] Garfield juggled Indian clubs to build his muscles.[15] James Garfield was featured on series 1882 $5 National Currency notes,[citation needed] and the series 1886 $20 Gold Certificate.[16] Both of these currency notes are considered to be of moderate rarity, and are quite valuable to collectors. Garfield has a street in Brooklyn a suburb in Wellington, New Zealand named after him - Garfield Street.[citation needed] Garfield had one blue eye and one brown eye.
